Chronic insomnia is torture for anyone who desires a good sleep. It lowers your quality of life and can trigger issues like heart disease and mental disorders.

Before you rush towards sleeping aids, try the following steps to save yourself from sleepless nights.

Key to sleep better

Stick to a routine

Reinforce your internal clock by sticking to the same bedtime. If there's a special event and your schedule changes, make sure to catch op on lost sleep. Then get back to your established routine.

Put worries and plans aside

Thinking about work and life keeps your brain active. When it's bedtime, devote your body and soul to sleep. Remember: sleep boosts productivity. Insomnia ruins it.

Behavior matters

Healthy behaviors make a huge difference to sleep quality. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and intensive workout before bed. Making sure your bed is comfortable and dimming the light will help you induce sleep.
